I don't think the fact that the site is written in Arc makes the site itself any more interesting. Arc is interesting, as is the fact that it's to the point where it could be used to make this site.

I do. I'm pretty sure the site, layout & idea have been inspired by the defection from lisp to python ~ http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rewritingreddit
As the site progresses it proves a point. That "Reddit" could have continued in Lisp had they persisted and that "Lisp -like languages", can still cut it.
